I'm very glad that Andy Burnham has been open about Russian interference in the Brexit referendum. Farage's reaction tells us Burnham has hit the nail on the head.

BBC World at One OPENS their headline on our PM's confirmation that Russia interfered in BREXIT referendum with a clip of FARAGE telling the public that Burnham is a liar.

Burnham started his much-needed assault on Brexit yesterday by confirming Russian interference in the vote. Now this:
“In a statement to MPs, Andy Burnham will argue it is time to "face up to the reality that Brexit has done more harm than good" and "the status quo is not good enough for Britain."”

Rejecting closer EU ties would be dereliction of duty, PM to say
Addressing the Commons, Burnham is expected to say that a new deal with the EU could help tackle illegal immigration and boost economic growth.
